Tailed leek orchid (Prasophyllum appendiculatum) near Genoa, East Gippsland, VIC. Only found the two plants out here this year which may have been a result of a dry spring - or only having a quick look a week or so earlier than I usually drop by ;)

Like all other leek orchids the flowers are 'up-side down' with the labellum pointing up at the top of the flower rather than pointing down at the bottom.

Spotted sun orchids (Thelymitra ixioides) near the Genoa River, East Gippsland, VIC.

Most spotted suns at this location have fewer smaller flowers than these more robust plants (which are a bit closer to the typical coastal forms growing around Mallacoota to the east).
